Evolution

Evolution is a professional refrigerated display case designed for pastry shops, patisseries and coffee shops with an in-house bakery. It presents and preserves cakes, pastries and single-portion desserts while keeping the cold chain and an attractive display. The enbloc body is foam-insulated with injected polyurethane (38-40 kg/m³) and lined internally with stainless steel, on a tubular epoxy-painted steel base with adjustable feet.

The pastry version comes in two heights, H 120 and H 137 cm, and three nominal widths of 1150, 1650 and 2150 mm. The overall width depends on whether side panels are fitted: 115/165/215 cm without side panels and 123/173/223 cm with side panels. This makes it suitable both for compact spaces and for long display counters.

The number of shelves depends on the chosen height. The H 137 pastry model is fitted with two display shelves, while the lower H 120 version has one. The greater height therefore increases the multi-level display surface, which is useful for wide ranges of mini pastries, cakes and single-portion desserts.

The structure combines stainless steel and anodised aluminium. The body is an enbloc unit foam-insulated with injected polyurethane (38-40 kg/m³) and lined internally with stainless steel, a hygienic and easy-to-clean material. The base is in tubular epoxy-painted steel with adjustable feet for levelling.

The case is fitted with laminated, tempered and heated side glass and a tempered, heated front glass that opens downward. The top glass is extra-clear for a sharp view of the products. Heating the glass limits condensation, keeping the display clean and easy to read for the customer.

The tempered, heated front glass opens downward, making service and product restocking easier. On the operator side, the case can be closed with a roller blind or with inclined sliding panels, depending on the configuration. Both solutions protect the pastries after hours and during loading.

The Evolution pastry version uses a ventilated refrigeration system with the evaporator installed beneath the display surface and automatic defrosting, distributing the cold evenly across the shelves. The electric control panel features an electronic thermostat for temperature control. The condenser is a single-phase hermetic unit, with automatic condensate evaporation on internal-motor versions.

The pastry version is rated climate class 3, referring to 25 °C ambient temperature and 60% relative humidity. It operates in temperature class 3 (M2 = -1 °C/+7 °C), in compliance with the UNI EN ISO 23953-2:2016 standard. It is therefore set for the positive-temperature preservation typical of pastry products.

The case is available with an internal motor or a remote motor. With the internal motor, the single-phase hermetic condenser unit is built in and the condensate evaporates automatically. With a remote motor, the unit is external and a condensate drain connected to the sewer line must be provided. The choice depends on space, noise and heat management in the sales area.

On internal-motor versions the condensate evaporates automatically, with no drain required. With an external motor, the condensate drain must instead be connected to the sewer line. A condensate evaporation tray is available on request. The front grille is not supplied on unfinished versions with an external motor.

The front panel and side panels can be lacquered in RAL shades or in the catalogue colour chart, so the case matches the décor of the venue. The side uprights are in black anodised aluminium and are set up to take laminate panels up to 2 mm thick, for further aesthetic combinations.

The shelves are lit by high-luminosity LEDs, which enhance the colours and detail of the displayed pastry. LED light delivers an even output with low consumption and heat compared with traditional sources, keeping products clearly visible without altering their appearance or affecting the preservation temperature.

On capillary internal-motor versions the case uses R290 refrigerant gas, a low-environmental-impact choice adopted by Frigomeccanica for sustainability. R290 offers good thermodynamic performance with a low global warming potential, in line with the company’s move toward more eco-friendly refrigerants.

Evolution can be configured on several fronts: two heights (120 and 137 cm), three nominal widths (1150, 1650 and 2150 mm) and a version with or without side panels, to fit different spaces. You can also choose between an internal and a remote motor depending on the layout of the workshop and heat management in the sales area.

The case stands on a tubular epoxy-painted steel base with adjustable feet for floor levelling. A grille is provided at the front, though it is not supplied on unfinished versions with an external motor. A condensate evaporation tray is available on request to collect the defrost water.

Yes. Evolution is part of the production of Frigomeccanica Industries, a fully Italian company present on the market with the Frigomeccanica, Stiltek, Officine 900 and Frimar brands. The company combines technological research and aesthetics in designing and manufacturing professional furniture and equipment for pastry shops, ice-cream parlours and food-service businesses.
